WITH FAMILY ROOTS STEEPED IN PORTLAND’S ORIGINAL CRAFT BREWING SCENE & A BREWER WORTH RIDING THE TRAIL FOR — WE INVITE YOU TO PULL UP A CHAIR, AND GET TO KNOW THE PEOPLE BEHIND ROOT & RYE.
White Paper_edited_edited.jpg

The trail to Root & Rye has been one wild and wonderful journey. As the heart and soul behind Portland's Old Market Pub & Brewery and the Broadway Grill & Brewery, Shelly has spent decades bringing unforgettable brews and bites to her hometown.

 

With grit, grace, and a spirit for adventure she set her sights on Root & Rye. Her experience and know-how brought a fresh energy to what was formerly Crowing Hen – with a touch of cowgirl charm, of course.

 

Now joined by her two daughters, Savannah and Sarah, this revival is a family affair where cold beers and warm company always find their way home.

WHERE FAMILY, LOCAL HISTORY, & GOOD BEERS ALWAYS RIDE TOGETHER.

MEET OUR BREWER, BOBBY 

We’re thrilled to have Bobby Stevens leading brewing and production at Root & Rye. With years of experience and the unwavering support of our visionary proprietor, Shelly Bigley, Bobby has set his sights on crafting lagers and hop-forward brews, including hazy IPAs, cold IPAs, and hop water. With our hop farm right in the backyard, Bobby is eager to experiment with the fresh flavors and aromas of our very own homegrown hops.

The beauty of our property serves as constant inspiration, and Bobby is committed to blending his expertise with the natural surroundings to create a brewing experience that embodies the recreation and relaxation we strive for at Root & Rye.

THE PROPERTY AT ROOT AND RYE IS A VERY SPECIAL PLACE TO ME, THE TRANQUILITY AND BEAUTY OF THE AREA IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL AND I WANT THAT TO COME THROUGH IN OUR BREWS  - Bobby Stevens
